Trump can’t have a deal that they consent to, its like kind of the core of what making a deal means for him

I fucking love the narration for How It’s Made. Sounds like me trying to make small talk sober. “Cheese has been a popular food for centuries” you’re so right

See ya

“Now stay calm. … Let’s hear what they said to Bill.”

Getting old is good for the brain because you have to memorize a thousand algorithms for moving your body without aggravating one of your many ailments. Twist no more than 30 degrees, only to the left never to the right, bend down NOT AT THE WAIST...success, you've picked up the fork you dropped

ME: Ah, but one of us only lies and the other tells only the truth! OTHER GUY: (to the adventures) He does this every time. You guys can just go in

Now (re)watching Shogun (1980). It's been ~20 years since I first watched it, but I remember it being better than the FX series in some ways (closer to the book, no shitty greenscreens, not everything is dark/drab, etc.) We'll see if it holds up.

No idea what I watched to make the youtube algo start recommending livestreams of Japanese railway crossings, but I put one up on my second monitor and I must admit I get excited when a train goes by.

Nothing Islamabad can happen. It can only Islamagood happen.

It's sad to see two Americans, sons of the great cities of New York and Chicago, embroiled in a petty dispute. I'm sure if they just got together to share a simple and uncontroversial pizza, these two boys could settle their differences.

Whenever I see a deer in the woods I slowly walk towards it making gentle noises in the hopes that it'll come to me and let me pet it, but they always run away 😞

Uh oh he’s discovered he can keep adding to his “wars ended” count by turning ceasefires on and off

At this time every year I must draw your attention to the demon who appeared to have the misfortune to be standing by the door and was squished looney-tunes style when the harrowing commenced

A very real problem with our foreign policy is that we are able to easily kill for causes we don’t actually think are worth dying for

All indications are that a novel method of pulling nitrogen from the air could revolutionize fertilizer production. But farmers worry it's too good to be true. New from @dkruzman.bsky.social: ambrook.com/offrange/tec...

Benjamin Netanyahu, General Dan Caine, I beseech you, the IRGC are building centrifuges directly under this structure, my people cry out for protection

In the row behind me at the school play tonight this gray haired guy was tormenting his teenage son by reading a long list of terrible Chuck Norris jokes, and I thought, "Isn't this dude too old to have been in Barrens chat?" and then I realized that was 20+ years ago💀

Who's excited?

Another Sunday, another family thing where dad scrolls AI voiceover woo woo health TikToks and mom argues politics with bots on Facebook instead of playing with their grandkids. The future is bright 🥲
